====== Building MySQL on Windows ======

===== CMake =====

  $ ./configure --prefix=/mingw
  $ make
  $ make install

===== MySQL =====

Download the ''noinstall'' zip file (e.g. ''mysql-connector-c-noinstall-6.0.2-win32.zip'') and extract it into ''C:\Program Files\libmysql'' (so you should have ''C:\Program Files\libmysql\include'', ''C:\Program Files\libmysql\lib'' etc.)  It //has// to be in ''C:\Program Files\libmysql'', because the ''mysql_config'' that goes with it has that path hardcoded.


OK, this is bullshit, we need to implement our own MySQL macros (or just use METNO_REQUIRE_LIB)

note, autoconf fails to compile mysql.h but puSQL builds just fine...




  $ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/mysql

Unfortunately, MySQL won't build on Windows with gcc, only with MSVC.  However, the official build works fine: download the ''noinstall'' zip file (e.g. ''mysql-noinstall-5.1.43-win32.zip'' for 5.1.43) and extract it somewhere convenient.

**XXX** no it doesn't, there are some serious issues with the header files.
